Amazon abuses many of their workers, they've been dangerous to small businesses in any area they move into, and they're contributing significantly to the wealth inequality problem.
Google knows a scary amount of information about you and everyone you know, they're supporting a horrific change in China allowing even tighter control of their citizens, and they were even looking at building AI for military drones at one point.
In exchange, we get to buy cheap stuff with quick shipping and we can find resources on the internet slightly quicker.
An AGI could have much more significant implications than either of those companies ever have. We need to figure out a solution to the AI control problem before we have a Dotcom-like burst of development.
It's often said that we tend to take AI that really works and call it something else, but we also tend to call whatever is current and somewhat succesful (fuzzy logic, etc.) "AI".
My day job is all about deep learning but personally I think we need to stop and take a deep breath and really solve problems with biased data sets and models, easily spoofed models, etc.
I have worked through a few AI winters and we may be hitting another one. I would like to see care given to using deep learning models only where it is safe to do so.
